Need Some Koi Inc.

Independent Author / Artist

Shakkoi, also known as, "Need Some Koi", is a multi-talented facilitator, spoken word artist, dancer and two time author. In 2019 she gradated from the University of Toronto, with a degree majoring in sociology and minoring in African and media studies. In 2020, after she saw the need for communication during such a critical time, she created a program called Floetry Fitness that encourages Black people and POC to express themselves verbally and physically through poetry and dance workshops. With plenty of experiences to share, Shakkoi's unique and raw approaches to storytelling reminds us that everyone needs some Koi in their lives. I have hosted workshops that are inclusive to all which I can do.
